Evaluation of the Lady Gaga Video on the French Revolution
1. In a well formulated paragraph evaluate how watching the video and reading the lyrics increased your understanding of the major events of the French Revolution
The lyrics of the French Revolution featuring Lady Gaga's Bad Romance song increased my understanding of the major events of the French Revolution. It made it a step by step view of getting the main ideas that caused the revolutionary events to lead to one another, and as well as an idea of how much suffering the French population has gone through. From looking at the lyrics I can see that there is a beginning middle, and end. The lyrics in that order to me was like a timeline only the dates are not included. Directly stated and sang I can tell the tone and attidude of what some of the people from different groups might of felt. It is interesting to hear her song with different lyrics because it is familiar and it catchies on attention and focus. By the end of the song I know for sure what will happen next after Napolean's order and what had occued and changed the people of France.

2. Identify the lines of the song that explain the causes of the revolution

• Oh, the Three Estates ensured nobles favoritism. Revolution in France
• La La Liberte, Eqalite, Fraternite, A Revolution
• Don't want no taxes, I'm paying too much. Let them eat cake we had a banquet for lunch
• I need my bread. Bread bread! Off with her head.
• It went from 8 sous to 12 in a yea. Exactly what impoverished peasants had feared.
• The oyals jeered. Ha ha ha. There's more for us.
• There was a famine. The peasants wouldn't pay. Bad malnutrition and tooth decay.
• We will not take this poverty anymore. You and me let's stat a revolution.
• On a tennis cout we swore to a constitution. Revolution in France
• On July 14 we stormed the Bastille; We showed them. Revolution in France
• No tax, want equality, liberty. By 1789 no fuedalism. established the rights of man

3. Identify lines that explain changes caused by the Revolution

• A new constitution. With a limited monarchy. It was a bad time for France
• We took on Austria in a war in spring. Europe frightened by our revolution
• We will not take Louis XVI must die. Tension heightened by our revolution
• Don't want no church. Catholicism is dead. No room for God. Worship reason instead
• Directoy and legislature filled with corruption. Revolution in France
• Monarchists and was would cause even more disruption. Revolution in France
• Ooh, oo, oo la la. Coup de tat. Ooh oo, oo la la. Napoleon's here!
• Enlightnement thinking. Something unexplained occurs it was refer to an act of God... but after being enlightned the way of thinking changed.
